Frozen pizza? If you have been following me for a while then you know that I am not a fan of frozen pizza. I have only had 2 brands that I like and would buy again in a heartbeat. One of those brands is Home Run Inn. Now that I can find my favorite Chicago-area pizza in frozen form I keep my freezer well stocked.

My weeknight dinner solution!

In my world of hectic swimming and school schedules, my editorial calendar and my husbands erratic travel schedule- quality frozen food is a must. To take it another step further my son can pop one of these in the oven any time he wants. No muss, no fuss.

If you follow me on Facebook, Twitteror Instagram (@BasilmommaHT) then you saw my cute little video I made showing exactly how easy it is to make one of these pizzas yourself. So click on one of the social media names above to check it out. Go ahead…I’ll be right here waiting

What tips can YOU share with ME on how to make it all work on a busy weeknight? Have YOU ever tried Home Run Inn pizza? Let me know below. I love hearing your ideas!

Home Run Inn’s three Chicago pizza restaurants and six in the Chicagoland area give you plenty of places to try our authentic homemade pizza. But for those of us that do not live in the Chicago-land area and cannot dine there when we want there is hope! Now, you can find one of their 24 different varieties at your local Kroger, Marsh Supermarkets and Meijer!

{Made with all natural ingredients, real cheese, and no preservatives, Home Run Inn frozen pizza was rated #1 by Consumer Reports and is Chicago’s number one best selling frozen pizza. More information HERE}

Unfortunately out here in Hickville, our variety of choice wasn’t vast, but we still really enjoyed the pizzas. The pepperoni was great! I loved the crust (even though I’m not usually a thin crust fan)
